Autograph on u Brick.

Half a century ago there YVES brick
yard on the north side of the road at the
foot of the Ames hill, so called, near what
is now the ALessrs. Briggs tannery. One
day Capt. F. V. Stewart, then 80 years of
age, was in that yard, and while walking
around among the unburned brick which
were scattered about he picked up sharp
stick and carclcssly wrote the following
upon one of them: "F. V. Stewart, 1885,"
This brick, with others, went into the Kiln,
was burned, and afterward was laid into
the walls of the Old South church erected
that year,. Nothing moro was thought OF
the matter till short time ago, when, as
wori5r:en We're cleaning the brick from
tho walls of the church burned in the
great fire, the identical brick was brought
TO light-as perfect in shape rs when laid,
ard with the inscription upon it as plain
Us print This valuable relic was care
fully preserved by Mrs. J. P. Thwing till
Mr.. Stewards return from Boston, when
she presented it to him. Mr.. Stewart is
nov. 50 years of age, and he says it will
take big sum of money to get that brics
away from him.-Farringto (NIe.l Chron-

Return of the prodigal.

George Reed, the long -looked-for ex-
treasurer of Bismarck, reached Williams
port Saturday morning, and left with
Landlord Bottomley, Sunday, for the
Capital City. Reeds reception there was
warm and cordial one. The RECORD
has no use for trusted public servants
who doodle" But the only thing of
which George appears to have been guilty
was carelessness in not keeping his private
funds and those of the city separate. He
was extremely prodigal of money, not
because he was politician, but before he
became politician, and through genuine
good-nature and kind-heartedness. The
writer knew HIM first in the spring of
81, just as Reed laid down stick and rule in
the Tribune composing.reom, and no
man was more kind and courteous to the
lonesome and stranger pilgrim than he.
He knew everybody, and many new
conner had cause to thank him for friendly
acts. He was just as liberal with his
money then as he was after he began to
dabble in local politics. Mr.. Reed
asserts that until the day of his departure
he didn't know that he was behindhand
He went Off leaving thousands that he
might have taken; he has returned to
make good his shortage This Isn't the
kind of stuff out of which boodlers are
made

A Severe Loss.

Tuesday night |of last week], says the
Bismarck Tribune, lightning struck the
home of Thomas NJ. Craven, resident for
five years on the southwest quarter of
14-139-7S, north of Menoken, and in three
minutes it was a mass of flames. The
bolt made great hole in the ground. A
few minutes before it struck the house
the family stepped out and took refuge in
cellar that had been built for new
house which Mr.. Craven contemplated
building if his crop proved a good one.
The storm had not alarmed them much,
but they thought the cellar the safer
place of the two. It was even more in
stinct than judgment on their part, as the
house was almost as solid as arock and
would Withstand anything short of Sauk
Rapids cyclone. Their narrow escape
was matter of congratulation, even
when they saw their home, household
furniture, clothing, and all their farming
implements in cue end of their home (74
feet long) were gone. There was no time
to recover single article. A ball of fire
from heaven starts a quick fire, and no
human effort can meet its movements,
Mr.. Craven states that $500 will not
cover his totalloss. His insurance is $500.

Must Pay Taxes.

A special dispatch from Mandan to the
Minneapolis Journal Is as follows:
Auditor Ward and Attorney General
Tcmpleton were in town to-day. A Jour
nal correspondent asked them what were
the chances for the collection, by the vari-
Gus counties along which the railroads
run, of taxes on the lots and land owned
by the roads. They both said that they
saw no way for the railroads to get out of
it. According to the act of congress
which forms the constitution Of the terri
tory, the local territorial authorities are
bound to tax all property alike all in the
SAME way According to another act of
congress, approved July, 1886, the rail
road lands of the Northern Pacific are
taxable, although the survey fees may
not have been paid on them, and although
no patent has been issued for them. Such
beng the case, the auditor, governor and
attorney general have come to the con-
clusion that the way for the roads to pay
their taxes IN the future will be on the
actual property they possess, and not on
their gross earnings. Under the new rul
ings the railroads will contribute great
deal more thar they have hitherto to the
tax fund.- All the Northern Pacific will
have to pay. on will be their land for, by
the act OF congress granting that road its
charter its right. of-way is exempt from
taxation, and all the buildings and per-
sonal property thereon. The roads in
South Dakota that have no land grant
have no such exemption to help them,
and they will have to be assessed on all
the property they have got.
